Shiny surfboards

This is a closer view of some of the shiny surfboards in Kelly's Surf Shop.  I guess surfboards are like cars, and people like to have attractive colors and patterns to show off their surfboards.

Here is a link to the website for Kelly's Surf Shop.  I have mentioned before that we do not have street addresses in Tamarindo.  People give directions by saying where something is near.

Kelly identifies the location of his shop as being "next door to Coconut Restaurant."  I guess he figures that everyone knows where Coconut Restuarant is.  I think he is right.  Tomorrow and the next few days I will show you why.

Today is Sunday so we have new photos posted on our Viva la Voyage travel photo site.  Julie and I took a trip to the Holy Land earlier this month, so this week we have posted photos of Jerusalem, featuring the Dome of the Rock, which is sacred for Muslims, and the Wailing Wall, the most sacred place for Jews.

  4. Now you've got the Beach Boy's Surfin' USA stuck in my head. Carolyn once served the Beach Boys dinner when they played at her college and ate in the cafeteria.

    With all your travels, I'm sure you've spent some time in Japan. The building address system there isn't any better, maybe just weirder.
